New Delhi: The Delhi government's free-electricity scheme will be an example of "smart governance" as it is encouraging Delhiites to reduce their power consumption, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday.

In August, the Aam Aadmi Party government had announced free-electricity of up to 200 units for domestic consumers and later extended the scheme to tenants residing in the national capital. Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal said residents of the city were trying to consume less than 200 units of electricity to avail the benefit. He further claimed that 14 lakh consumers in the city who consumed less than 200 units of electricity received zero bill.
